The seeds of the vine pumpkin. Pumpkin is also known as pumpkin and rice melon. It is cultivated all over our country. Collect mature fruits in summer and autumn, cut the melons open, collect the seeds, remove the pulp, and dry or bake them in the sun. When eating, remove the seed shell and call it pumpkin seed kernel. Sunflower seeds contain beta-carotene, which can prevent cell necrosis in the lower layers of human skin.

Two studies from the United States show that eating nuts every day can prevent weight gain and improve metabolic health in the long run.

Researchers from the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health collected health data from 25,000 men and 100,000 women, including a questionnaire on food intake types and frequency that is collected every four years. . The analysis results showed that during the follow-up period, using 1 serving (about 28 grams) of nuts or peanuts per day to replace red meat, processed meat, French fries, desserts and other foods with lower nutritional value significantly reduced the risk of obesity.

Researchers pointed out that adults gain an average of 1 pound (approximately 0.45 kilograms) per year. This number may not seem large, but after 20 years of accumulation, it becomes a significant amount. Some people think nuts are high-fat, high-calorie foods and dare not eat more. In fact, eating in moderation can help prevent slow weight gain in adulthood and reduce the risk of various obesity-related diseases.

Researchers from the School of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences at San Diego State University in California, USA, conducted a study on the hypoglycemic and weight-loss effects of Brazil nuts. Participants in both groups added 36 grams of pretzels or 20 grams of Brazil nuts, which contained the same amount of calories and sodium, to their normal diet.

The interval between each test is 48 hours. The results showed that Brazil nuts induced a stronger feeling of fullness, and 40 minutes after eating, participants who ate pretzels had significantly higher blood sugar and insulin levels than those who ate Brazil nuts.
